[Series Thread] Zimbabwe A v Bangladesh A in Zimbabwe

[Train Driver]

Sadly there doesn't seem to be any stopping #zimcricketgoingtohellinahandcart either

Mamhiyo needs to bat higher than 6 or 7.

Number 5 would be better. Maybe he wouldn't run out of partners then.

Interesting to look at the career averages for Kasuza and Moor at both First Class and List A levels, you have to ask why Moor keeps getting the opportunities while Kasuza isn't even in the squad for the 4 day matches against Bangladesh

Kasuza should have been picked for Zim at least ahead of Chari and Moor. That is for sure.

Same applies for Musoko ahead of Muzarabani.

So, careers are being messed up from grass roots level here.

Bangladesh have won the toss and chosen to bat, Zim team is

Sibanda, Chari, Moor, Masakadza, Burl, Mamhiyo (c), Gumbie (wk), M'shangwe, Tiripano, Garwe & Nyauchi

Bangladesh currently 42-0 after 12 overs

[Train Driver]

81-3 at lunch, wickets for Garwe, M'shangwe and Nyauchi, much better than it was looking at 72-1

Nice to see that stupidity and amateurish behaviour isn't just in the ownership of the senior side, Chari gets himself STUMPED for 0 when there is only 4 or 5 overs to see out the day, what a dick

Bangladesh 268 all out, Sibanda 3-32, Nyauchi 2-37, Garwe 2-49, M'shangwe 2-70, Burl 1-14

Last ball of the day done and dusted, Zim 0-1 from 4 overs, can the follow on be saved ..........

My thoughts exactly. And the cricinfo commentator is not too pleased either:

Taijul Islam to Chari, OUT, what was that for?, flatter, outside off, Chari charges down the track, rans past this as it turns away from him, Nurul collects and whips he bails off

^^ Unbelievable.

Btw, Hami is opening.

If you actually want one of your best (and senior) batsmen who's been in a bit of rough form to get into nick again you would normally bat him where he wants to bat in FC (3 or 4). I'm not sure what the message is exactly but it's plain stupid if you ask me.

[Train Driver]

It will be interesting to see where Sibanda bats considering his recent 'form', I wonder whether Masakadza is basically being forced to open or if it's his own choice, whatever, I hope he does well

Meanwhile, PJ SuperMoor is in at number 4 after keeping wicket and bowling unchanged from both ends ...........
